The opposite end of the strip 16 also terminates in a tongue 19, which darries at its extiemity a buckle 20, the tongues 18 and 19 being alined so that the former may be engaged with the buckle 20. The strip 16 is formed with a slot 21, through which the buckle 20 and tongue 19 are adapted to be inserted for the purpose of 'engaging the tongue 18.
